I would get a second opinion...or maybe even a third. Get the name of a pdoc who specializes in BP. (Get a referral from the BP web sites). They are better prepared to sift through your symptoms than a general pdoc...at least this was my experience. I had a diagnosis quite similar to yours...I was not diagnosed with BPII until recently...the SSRI's had a similar effect on me too...they are horrible for people with BP. Have you tried any of the atypicals? Currently I am taking Geodon and so far it has been a life saver. Truly, best of luck.
